The Property:
This skilful conversion of a former stable into a pair of delightful cottages is situated on the outskirts of the Georgian market town of Alresford. Internally the property has been tastefully redecorated throughout and is found in very good order, with an excellent balance between ground and first floor accommodation. The front entrance leads into a large open-plan reception hall with wooden flooring and opens into the drawing room, which has a fitted wood burning stove and doors that lead into the garden. A separate sitting room leads to the re-fitted Harvey Jones kitchen which provides hand painted in-frame base and eye level units with quartz stone worksurfaces, fitted appliances with a stone floor and underfloor heating. There is plenty of space here for a dining table, whilst two sets of bi-fold doors open to the terrace and garden. Upstairs, the principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room, and there are two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. Outside, the garden to the rear is mainly laid to lawn with mature shrubs and trees, as well as a terrace. There are three off road parking places. A small, enclosed patio to the front of the house has previously been used for parking.

Location:
Alresford is situated off the A31 between the cathedral city of Winchester and Alton at the southern end of the Candover Valley. It is a charming Georgian town and is rather special with the main streets lined with 18th century houses, cottages and shops, the latter catering for most everyday needs. The River Arle which flows through the town and continues into the River Itchen provides riverside walks and out into the open countryside. Recreational facilities include tennis courts and football pitch at the Arlebury Park Recreation Ground. It also has a golf course. Chalk stream fishing on the Rivers Test and Itchen and the south coast is within easy driving distance. Alresford is also well placed for several major towns. London can be reached by road with access to the M3 at Winchester or Basingstoke or the A3 at Guildford and on to the M25 for the airports. There are mainline stations at Winchester and Alton, both on the Waterloo line.

Directions:
From Winchester take the B3404 Alresford Road and join the A31 to Alresford. At the roundabout, take the first exit onto Alresford Road, becoming The Avenue. Turn right onto New Farm Road and continue onto Spring Gardens. Continue onto Tichbourne Down, and the property will be found on the left-hand side.
